Learning to draw an object is one of the most wonderful experiences. Whether you are a kid or an adult, drawing is a very satisfying hobby. There are many things or objects that a person can draw, but flowers are one thing that everyone is keen to draw.

There are many varieties of flowers, and some of them are simple to draw while others are more complex. Learning to draw flowers is not difficult, provided you know the tricks, and are willing to practice to reach perfection.

Before you start to draw flowers, it is important for you to first observe the different flowers. Look at the flowers like dahlias, roses, pansies, orchids, and tulips, and observe the petals. Look at the different shapes of the flowers and their leaves.

Once you know about these details, you can proceed towards drawing flowers. For sketching flowers, you will need some good graphite pencil in different grades, like, HB, 2B, 4B, and 6B along with a good quality eraser and drawing paper.

Once you have all these drawing materials with you, you can start sketching your drawing.

Draw a vertical oblong. Below the oblong, draw a slender rectangle that would serve as the plant’s stem.

All these steps are very easy to follow, and if you proceed according to the sequence given, then you are sure to have a realistic looking picture of flowers. If you are not able to get it right the first time, don’t be disappointed.

Just practice more, and you will be able to draw them.
